What Admissions Committees Ask
The Questions That Matter
Admissions committees are no longer asking only how many hours you completed. They are asking:
- Was the experience supervised?
- Was it structured?
- Was it documented?
- Was it delivered through a credible institution?
- Can it be trusted?
Program Approval Comparison
Clinical Skills Institute
✖ Not approved by the U.S. Department of Labor✖ Not approved under Registered Apprenticeship (RAP)
✖ Not approved on ETPL
✖ Not approved under WIOA
Because CSI does not hold workforce approvals, its experiences are generally considered educational supplements, not approved workforce clinical training.
🚫 For pre-med and pre-PA students, this often means having to explain or defend the experience during admissions review.
Capyear
✖ Not approved by the U.S. Department of Labor✖ Not approved under Registered Apprenticeship (RAP)
✖ Not approved on ETPL
✖ Not approved under WIOA
🚫 CAPYEAR may help students locate hours, but it does not provide approved, workforce-recognized clinical training.
